Yes, tortillas are a type of unleavened bread. The term “unleavened bread” refers to any type of bread that doesn’t include raising agents, like yeast or baking powder.

At minimum, you can make unleavened bread with some sort of flour and water. Flour can be made from a variety of different grains and other plant materials, such as wheat, oats, or corn.

Staff Answer

The bread would have been baked in a clay oven, shaped somewhat like a beehive, with an opening at the top. A simple flatbread would have been made with stone-ground emmer wheat flour and a little bit of water. The flattened pieces of dough would then be stuck directly to the inner walls of the oven to cook. Some recipes call for the bread to be fried in oil instead.

Question

Is this the same as shewbread or showbread or presence bread?

Community Answer

No. This bread has eggs in it. Classic Biblical unleavened bread did not have eggs, and honey is actually a leavening agent, so do not add honey.

Question

How can I make bread with only water and cornstarch?

Community Answer

You can't, because you would need flour and salt in addition to the water and corn starch for the consistency of the bread to be correct.

Question

My mom would make a bread she called "war bread." The only ingredients I remember her using were salt, flour and water. Is that unleavened bread?

Community Answer

If it was a flat bread, then it's unleavened bread. A lot of bread recipes can be made without yeast.
